Klein Tools Pinless Moisture Meter - Accurate Readings in Seconds Without Damaging Surfaces

BobBob: this instrument actually saved me 1000$+ as I could monitor the humidity level in my car carpets as the drain tubes were clogged, after unclogging and drying the floor I could monitor the results to see that everything has been fixed. It was also useful to verify the bathroom ceiling and confirm that there were no leaks in the walls, which prevented me from opening the walls to check inside. this instrument is already paid for!

Dincwaz: I live in a flood zone and had some damage from Hurricane Idalia. This helped me find exactly where the drywall was wet. Very important in the prevention of mold!

Chris: A low-cost tool to give you a "general idea" what areas are comparatively dry vs. moist vs very wet. It works fine for that purpose.

DPlant13123: Just doing the review now, after getting home from our yearly travels. While getting ready for the annual RV trek (4.5 months on the road) I noticed a soft spot in the roof. I couldn't seem to locate the source. I purchased this meter I was able to trace back to the source. I was able to move around the wet spot and follow a cone shape up the slope of the roof. Once I got to the tip of the "cone", with some solid cleaning, I was able to find the 1/4" slit. Patching it with Eternabond tape allowed us to go through with our trip. We're home now and the RV is in for a new roof.

Calvin: I am doing a crawlspace encapsulation project, and I needed something to verify the moisture of the joist and subfloor. My first device came dead on arrival. I tested the enclosed 9v battery and it tested fine. The device screen would not power on but would make consistent beeping sounds. Initiated a replacement with amazon. Had another device in a couple days, and it has been working really well for my use-case. Would recommend.

Neal: So I tested this tool on the exterior wall of our 1960's brick build semi-detached house. I can see the tar DPM on the brick line near to the ground. As expected on masonary setting the bricks below the DPM are Over Limit so they are full of moisture. I knew this would be the case, there are salt deposits on the brick level immediately below the DPM so this shows that evaporation is happening and the mineral salt is left behind. Above the DPM the value drops down significantly from 50% down to roughly 20% and then the lowest its gets it about 12-15% about a meter up the wall. This is an expected result. However when I move inside the house, the kitchen walls, apparently OL readings all over the wall from the floor to the ceiling. I can only assume this must be something to do with the painted finish? I also check the hallway internal brick wall and the same Over Limit reading. We do not have an issue with blistering or mould in this house, so I can only assume that the tool is giving a false reading, but why this is I am unsure, I can only put it down to the paint finish.

Amazon Customer: I had borrowed a more expensive German moisture reader to compare it to. It had different readings but seemed to go up or down in comparison. So I figured it was more accurate than the others I tried. It was most closely the same as the German one when it was in the soft wood mode when I was testing hardwood. I use it to tell me the moisture content of oak logs for growing Shiitake mushrooms.
